Hours before Keith Caneiro and his entire family were killed, he made two phone calls to his brother Paul demanding answers about missing money. The jury heard those calls this week. Keith's voice is furious: "I need to know where that money went." And then: "Give me the f---ing login, Paul!" He gave Paul a deadline — two hours. Paul never responded. By morning, prosecutors say, Keith was dead on his front lawn with five gunshot wounds. His wife was dead inside, shot and stabbed. His two children — ages 8 and 11 — had been stabbed repeatedly and left to die of smoke inhalation as the house burned around them.The Paul Caneiro trial is now in its fourth day in Monmouth County, and the picture emerging is devastating. Prosecutors have presented evidence of a man allegedly living a fantasy — three Porsches, Tiffany's shopping sprees, an Audi for a mistress — while overdrafting his bank accounts and draining his brother's life insurance trust. Detective testimony revealed that bank statements Paul provided to the family accountant had been altered to hide the theft.Witnesses have described the scene at Paul's own house fire that morning: a gas can in the driveway, burn marks on his Porsche, the family sitting calmly in a car while firefighters worked. When police asked Paul where his security DVR was, testimony says he didn't answer — he looked to his daughter. That footage, showing Paul disconnecting his cameras at 1:28 AM, is now in evidence after the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled it admissible.Paul Caneiro maintains his innocence. His defense points to a third brother. But the evidence prosecutors are laying out tells a different story — of a man who allegedly couldn't admit failure, and killed everyone who knew the truth.#PaulCaneiro #CaneiroBrothersTrial #ColtsNeckMurders #NewJerseyTrial #CourtTV #TrueCrime #FamilyAnnihilator #MansionMurders #MonmouthCounty #TheCrimeTimesJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The episode that made the Fourensic Room (ie Witnesses' Angels) so mad that they attempted to silence me by maliciously and falsely copyright striking my channel. Chris Albert speaks out on the Fourensic Room channel but leaves out his own criminal conviction for a crime with some similarities to Karen Read and his son Colin Albert's harassment. However, the Fourensic Room did get to the bottom of Albert's feelings on whether pinapple belongs on pizza. More weak sauce from Karen Read's non-supporters. Get access to exclusive content & support the podcast by a Patron today! https://patreon.com/robertaglasstruecrimereport Throw a tip in the tip jar! https://buymeacoffee.com/robertaglass Support Roberta by sending a donation via Venmo. https://venmo.com/robertaglass Become a channel member for custom Emojis, first looks and exclusive streams here: https://youtube.com/@robertaglass/joinThank you Patrons!

On 17 January 1945, the SS began evacuating the Auschwitz camp. Around 56,000 men and women, prisoners under the escort of armed SS men, marched out from various parts ofthe camp complex in the direction of Wodzisław Śląski and Gliwice. Several thousand people were killed during these so-called Death Marches. In this episode of the “On Auschwitz” podcast, we quote fragments of eyewitness accounts relating to these events.=====Illustration:Zbigniew Otfinowski, Marsz ewakuacyjny [Evacuation march] (1946).

In September 2007, 20-year-old American college student Amanda Knox moved to Perugia, Italy to study abroad and experience life on her own. She settled into a stone villa with three other young women and quickly began building friendships with her new roommates, forming a particularly close bond with 21-year-old British exchange student Meredith Kercher.Just weeks later, on November 2, Amanda would find herself standing outside that same home as police and paramedics rushed inside. Not fluent in Italian, she didn't fully understand what was happening - only that Meredith had been found murdered in the villa they shared. Despite having no clue what was going on, Amanda became the focus of the murder investigation within hours. And what followed would become one of the most controversial criminal cases of the modern era, marked by intense scrutiny, global media coverage, and sharply divided opinions about guilt, innocence, and how justice is pursued when the world is watching.Try our coffee! - www.CriminalCoffeeCo.comBecome a Patreon member -- > https://www.patreon.com/CrimeWeeklyShop for your Crime Weekly gear here --> https://crimeweeklypodcast.com/shopYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CrimeWeeklyPodcastWebsite: CrimeWeeklyPodcast.comInstagram: @CrimeWeeklyPodTwitter: @CrimeWeeklyPodFacebook: @CrimeWeeklyPodADS:1. https://www.ThePetsTable.com - Use code CRIMEWEEKLY55 for 55% off your first box PLUS 10% off your next two!2. https://www.Quince.com/CrimeWeekly - Get FREE shipping and 365-Day Returns!3. https://www.FactorMeals.com/CrimeWeekly50Off - Get 50% off your first box and FREE breakfast for one year!4. https://www.LiquidIV.com - Use code CRIMEWEEKLY for 20% off your first order!

In today's episode, we investigate terrifying White Beast encounters in the Ozark Mountains — a faceless, towering creature covered in long shaggy hair that locals warn you never to follow into the woods. Witnesses describe it watching from the treeline, stalking properties, and crashing through the forest with unreal speed before vanishing behind metallic bangs many believe are tied to interdimensional gateways.We break down Nathan's two encounters with this massive white creature, his mother's firsthand sighting, and the disturbing behavior that suggests this being may be new to our realm and still learning how to use its own body. We connect these stories to wider reports of White Beast entities, Dogman-type creatures, boundary spirits, and ancient legends like the Ozark Howler and the Slavic Leshy, revealing patterns stretching across cultures and continents.This episode is loaded with cryptid sightings, giant humanoid reports, dimensional theories, forest entity encounters, and the rising wave of white, faceless creatures being seen across the Midwest and Appalachia. If you're drawn to high-strangeness, mysterious creatures, unexplainable encounters, or the unseen conflict happening in the woods, this conversation will grip you from start to finish.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Clara Harris seemed to have everything. A successful dental career, a wealthy lifestyle, and a marriage that looked perfect from the outside. That image shattered when she discovered her husband, orthodontist David Harris, was having an affair with their receptionist, Gail Bridges.Instead of confronting him directly, Clara hired a private investigator to follow David to what she believed would be a final breakup meeting. But when she arrived at the Nassau Bay Hilton, she found David and Gail together at the same hotel where she and David once celebrated their wedding.What happened next was caught on video and witnessed by bystanders. In a burst of rage, Clara drove her Mercedes into David in the parking lot, then circled back and struck him again. Witnesses heard their daughter screaming for her to stop.At trial, Clara claimed the death was an accident. Prosecutors argued it was intentional. Under Texas law, the jury found she acted in sudden passion, reducing the charge and limiting her sentence to twenty years instead of life. Clara served fifteen years before being released from parole in 2023.The case sparked national debate about jealousy, betrayal, and whether emotional rage should ever reduce accountability for murder.

Two cases. Two very different defenses. One retired FBI Special Agent breaking down what the evidence actually shows. Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers to analyze the Brendan Banfield trial and the latest bombshells in the Nick Reiner case.In Virginia, the prosecution's own forensics expert concluded their catfishing theory was wrong. Officer Brendan Miller found Christine Banfield controlled the FetLife account, not her husband. The University of Alabama confirmed his work. Then he was told he'd never work another digital forensics case in the bureau. He was transferred. The lead detective was reassigned. Now the state's case depends entirely on an au pair who flipped after a year in jail — a woman who wrote from her cell that she was "heartbroken" for what she was doing to Brendan and that she still loved him. Her sentencing is scheduled after the trial to ensure she keeps cooperating.In Los Angeles, sources say Nick Reiner admits to killing his parents but claims he's the victim of a conspiracy. His schizoaffective medication was changed a month before the murders. The weapon hasn't been found. LAPD sealed the autopsy reports on Christmas Eve. Nick checked into a hotel after the alleged killings. His family spent a fortune on treatment facilities he'd leave after 30 days.Coffindaffer has evaluated cooperating witnesses and insanity claims throughout her FBI career. She explains what investigators look for, what the behavioral evidence reveals, and why both cases have serious problems that won't be resolved anytime soon.#BrendanBanfield #NickReiner #HiddenKillers #JenniferCoffindaffer #FBI #AuPairMurder #RobReiner #StarWitness #InsanityDefense #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei has hailed a day of rallies in support of the government, as estimates of the number of anti- regime protesters killed by his security forces continue to rise. The Ayatollah said it was a historic day which had thwarted Iran's enemies. He described the rallies as a warning to the United States and what he called its domestic mercenaries. A Norway- based Iranian rights group (Iran Human Rights) says it's now confirmed almost 650 victims of his government's violent crackdown on dissent. But it warned that some estimates exceed 6,000 dead. Witnesses have told the BBC the scale of the use of force was unprecedented. Also in the programme: Three former chairs of the US Federal Reserve have come to the defence of the current incumbent, Jerome Powell, who says he has been threatened by the Justice Department; and could a robot soon be doing your dishes?(Photo: Mourners carry a coffin during a funeral procession for members of security forces and civilians said to be killed in protests on Sunday, amid evolving anti-government unrest, in Tehran, Iran, in this screen grab from a video released on January 11, 2026.

Gather round for three campfire stories investigators cannot explain.A dead man's phone calls thirty-five times in twelve hours, guiding rescuers through wreckage to his body. The phone battery should have died. The phone was never found.A heart transplant patient inherits his donor's food cravings, handwriting, and wife. Thirteen years later, he kills himself the same way his donor did. Same method. Same location.Two children knock on a car window asking for a ride home. Their eyes are solid black from edge to edge. They cannot enter without permission. The people who let them in never tell their stories.Three documented cases. Hundreds of witnesses. Zero explanations that hold up under scrutiny.The signal sometimes gets through. The heart sometimes remembers. The door should stay locked.

What do charges of blasphemy against Jesus teach us about who Jesus really is? Clearly the Jews, Scribes, Pharisees, and even Caiaphas the High Priest thought Jesus claimed to be God through what He said and what He did (see Mark 2; Matthew 26; Mark 2; Luke 5; and John 10). Many skeptics, as well as Jehovah's Witnesses and Latter-day Saints have tried explaining away passages like Mark 2, where the Scribes thought Jesus was blaspheming. They believe Jesus only had the authority to forgive sins, not that He was God, the Son, incarnate. This week on the Profile, we will tackle this objection as well as delve into Matthew's account of Caiaphas tearing his robes in Matthew 26:65. Both passages (Mark 2:1-12 and Matthew 26:57-68) are solid evidence that Jesus, the Son of Man, is in fact God the Son, incarnate.

What happens when a case goes cold — but because time got there first....Because in true crime, some stories don't stay unsolved due to a lack of effort.They stay unsolved because the world simply didn't have the tools to hear what the evidence was trying to say.This week on Nocturne Files: True Crime, we step into the case of Kerryn Tate — last seen in daylight in Mount Lawley in 1979, and found the following morning in bushland near Karragullen.For decades, her case lived inside a gap.A small window of time where everything changed… and nobody could explain how.Cold cases aren't only about what we don't know.They're about what stops moving.Leads that run out.Witnesses who forget.Details that soften at the edges.A file that stays open — but never progresses.And yet, sometimes… the future shows up.Not with a confession.Not with a dramatic reveal.But with science — patient, methodical, unromantic science — finally catching up to a question that's been waiting for years.This episode explores that shift.Not with sensationalism or shock-value detail, but by sitting with what it means when an answer arrives late — and how a name can change the weight of silence, even when there's no courtroom ending.Because some truths don't arrive loudly.They arrive slowly.Piece by piece.Over decades.That's all I'll say for now.Thank you for being curious.And thank you for being willing to sit with the unresolved parts — with care.

Human beings move as a flock. What feels like freedom is motion inside a herd. People act the way they do because of pressure, habit, fear, desire, reward, or past experience. When we make decisions, we are responding to systemic forces already acting on us, even when theologians insist on calling this a free choice, the so-called “free will.” Long before a choice is named, the path is worn.Governments, workplaces, laws, economies, religions, philosophies, ideologies, and social norms all rely on the same logic. If certain behaviors are rewarded and others punished, people will respond in predictable ways. Obedience inside these systems is never neutral. People comply because it benefits them, protects them, or helps them avoid loss. Even rebellion, blind to what it is building, follows recognizable patterns and is absorbed back into the systems it supposedly opposes.But beneath these systems sits something deeper and more diabolical: the human logos. Explanation. Justification. Language itself as causality. Words that govern reality, binding reasons to actions, beliefs to outcomes, and sacrifices to meaning. This is how systems hold together. They are not only structures of power, but temples built of language, narratives, and shared explanations. Propaganda. A world where everything makes sense.Belief, in this sense, is not faith. It is how humans explain themselves to themselves, a projection of the lamp of the body, quieting fear, justifying loss, making obedience reasonable. Over time, this explanatory language becomes a prison people inhabit. A Temple made of human hands, not of stone, but of coherence. An idol constructed from meaning.Inside this Temple, every sacrifice is justified. Every command explained. Every loss serves a purpose. Even love is rationalized. Domesticated. Hope reframed as likelihood. Language does not merely describe the system. It sanctifies it.These systems can even tolerate sacrifice, as long as the sacrifice is made for something abstract: the nation, the tribe, the future, the greater good, the “building” up or the “survival” of the community. Abstract loyalty is calculable. It can be taught, praised, rewarded, and demanded. A person who gives themselves for an idea or a cause is still operating inside logic the system understands and human language can defend.Torah insists that a true command cannot arise from within this Temple or employ its language. Scripture does not perceive human beings as autonomous agents standing outside the flock, freely acting. It finds people as they are: already bound, already oriented, already enslaved to something. That is why Torah does not ask whether people are free, but whom they serve. Egypt is not replaced by false autonomy, but by covenant. Pharaoh is not replaced by the self, the builder of temples, but by the Voice of the Shepherd, that commands, calling us out of the temples that entomb us. According to Scripture, if a rule makes sense because it works, helps, or produces good outcomes, then following it is still a calculation. It may be wise or effective, but it is not obedience. It is sycophancy. That is why the Voice of the Shepherd is heard in the wilderness, away from stable systems and the human Temple of explanation. In the wilderness, people cannot rely on strategy or outcomes. They can only hear and respond. To those who live inside the system, this looks like slavery, or worse, insanity. Far from it.It is trust.This is where love of neighbor enters, and it does not enter as an idea, let alone a Platonic ideal. A neighbor is not humanity in the abstract. A neighbor is not the future, the cause, or the system. A neighbor is the real person who stands before you and whose claim cannot be translated into principle without being lost.Your neighbor is not defined by worth, identity, or moral condition, but by proximity under obedience to the Command. Love of neighbor is irrational by decree. It does not weigh consequences. It does not ask whether the whole will survive. It does not justify itself in language the system can use. Systems assume that when forced to choose, people will sacrifice the one for the many. Love of neighbor refuses that exchange. It does not assume God's purview. It does not control. It does not judge. It does not choose the right thing. It submits to the Command: love for the one encountered. This is why love of neighbor looks dangerous from inside the Temple. It threatens coherence. It interrupts explanation. It is willing to let the world burn rather than betray the one who stands before you. It does not argue. It does not explain. It does not rebel. The moment it does, it has already been absorbed back into the prison of the human logos. Hope enters here, not as optimism and not as confidence in success. Hope is what remains when explanation fails. Hope is the willingness to act without knowing whether the act will save or destroy everything. It interrupts causality by refusing to let outcomes or narratives decide what matters. Love of neighbor does not act because things will turn out well. It acts because of the Command.The Command does not abolish cause and effect, but it interrupts it. Scripture introduces something causality and human language cannot produce: a binding word that is not an effect, not a tool, and not a story we tell ourselves. It is not obeyed because it succeeds or pays off, but because it is spoken and heard, through the claim of a real person, a flesh and blood prophet, rather than the demands of an abstract group.When people live inside societies and institutions, this kind of hearing becomes difficult. Explanation returns. Outcomes take precedence. Faithfulness is measured by effectiveness. Hope is reduced to human belief in a future that can be imagined and defended. The Temple quietly rebuilds itself.Scripture keeps pointing back to the wilderness to remind people that freedom is not about mastering systems or rejecting them, but about remaining able to hear and act when human language blinds and deafens us, to act with conviction when explanation fails, and to obey the Command of the Shepherd even when the world can no longer be justified.This is the promise in which we hope, faith in things not seen: that through his Command God alone will achieve victory for his many flocks, which in his sight are one flock:“For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.” (Romans 8:24-25)Episode 576 is a searching and uncompromising meditation on language, submission, and judgment, spoken from the land itself rather than from the safety of abstraction. Recorded in Jordan on New Year's Day, the conversation between Father Marc Boulos and Father Timothy Lowe unfolds as both personal reckoning and scriptural indictment.At its core, the episode argues that modern Christianity has betrayed the text it claims to serve by severing itself from the languages in which Scripture was spoken. Translation is not neutral, and reliance on English is not innocent. To speak in God's name while neglecting Hebrew, Greek, and Arabic is to risk uttering words God never said. For the preacher, this is not an academic shortcoming but a spiritual danger, because every utterance stands under divine accounting.The discussion presses further, insisting that biblical languages are not tools but living realities that carry wisdom through shared Semitic roots. By tracing these roots across the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur'an...

The question seems simple: did Protestants ever agree on the Lord's Supper? The answer, drawn from history and confessions, is messy. The early church spoke with one voice about a true, real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, a conviction shared across geography and centuries. Then the Reformation fractured that consensus. Luther defended real presence with fire, appealing to Christ's words as plain and binding; Calvin insisted on a true spiritual presence without a change of substance; Zwingli argued for a powerful memorial devoid of presence in the elements. These are not minor tweaks; they are different maps of reality, worship, and church. The implications ripple through how we pray, preach, and gather.  Special episode for our brother  @theprotestantgentleman Dillon Baker.Luther's stance, preserved in the Augsburg Confession, reads with startling clarity: the body and blood of Christ are truly present and distributed to those who partake. For him, the promise of Christ anchored the sacrament; God acts, we receive. This wasn't speculative metaphysics; it was pastoral assurance built on Christ's words. Yet even within that stance, Luther rejected philosophical explanations he considered overly rationalistic, choosing instead to guard the mystery. For many today seeking historical Protestant roots, that text offers a bold continuity with the ancient church's devotion, placing emphasis on Christ's promise rather than human mood or memory.Calvin pushed in another direction. The Westminster Confession, reflecting Reformed insight, rejects any change in the substance of bread and wine. Christ is truly received, they say, but not by the mouth; He is given to faith by the Spirit. This attempt to safeguard both biblical language and philosophical coherence introduced a careful distinction: presence without material change. It aimed to avoid what they saw as superstition while retaining sacramental grace. Yet the same document criticizes views it considers contrary to Scripture and even to common sense, sharpening lines against both Roman Catholic teaching and Luther's insistence. The Reformed vision sought transcendence through the Word, Spirit, and faith rather than in the elements themselves.Zwingli's memorial view drew still sharper boundaries: the Supper is a sign and remembrance, a communal pledge of loyalty and gratitude. Here, the focus shifts from divine action in the elements to the church's act of obedience and memory. The table becomes a proclamation of the gospel rather than a locus of Christ's bodily presence. This view resonated with those wary of idolatry and eager to stress the sufficiency of faith. Yet critics asked whether such symbolism thins the mystery and reduces sacrament to lecture, exchanging presence for reminder and gift for gesture.Why the divergence? One claim in the conversation is that sola scriptura, untethered from a living interpretive authority, multiplies interpretations. The Reformers shared a high view of Scripture but not a shared hermeneutic about sacramental language. When “This is my body” meets different commitments about sign, substance, and promise, meanings diverge. The result is denominational lines drawn at the table itself. Confessions not only teach; they exclude. Augsburg rejects contrary teachings. Westminster calls other views repugnant. Such language reflects the stakes: worship sits at the center of identity, and the Supper is worship in its most intimate form.Questions about Orthodoxy?

Sin is often reduced to a list of bad behaviors, but this conversation reframed it as a rupture in relationship and a distortion of identity.  Join Jeremy Jeremiah, Mario Andrew, and Cloud of Witnesses special guests Father Deacon Anthony, an ordained deacon in the Antiochian Orthodox Church, and associate marriage and family therapist, Jacob Sadan (https://jacobsadan.com/) in this frank and inspiring discussion of sin.Drawing from early Christian teaching and cognitive behavioral therapy, our guests showed that actions flow from thoughts and feelings, and those are shaped by how we name what is happening inside us. If we see ourselves as inherently evil, despair follows; if we deny fault, pride grows. The older Christian vision holds a paradox: we are made very good in God's image, yet wounded by passions and habits that pull us from life. That paradox calls for clarity, not condemnation. Naming the wound without becoming the wound is the beginning of healing.  A vivid metaphor carried the dialogue: the black spot on the skin. We can ignore it, try to cut it out ourselves, identify with it in shame, or bring it to the physician. Only the last path actually heals. The physician, Christ, works through the church's rhythms—fasting, prayer, confession, feasting—because rhythm regulates what is dysregulated. Like a garden, the soul shows its beauty when tended with boundaries and care. The point isn't legalism but formation: seasons that humble pride, awaken joy, and train our loves. In this frame, guilt is not a curse; it is the pain signal that says, return to the Doctor. Shame, on the other hand, fuses sin to identity and locks the soul in a closed room.  Psychologically, the cycle is simple and stubborn: beliefs spark feelings, feelings drive behaviors, behaviors reinforce beliefs. If I believe I must fix myself alone, I will overreach, fail, and destroy self-trust. Addiction lives in that gap between imagined control and actual powerlessness. The first step to freedom is admitting limits and sorting what I can change from what I must surrender. Confession becomes a structured pause to observe the inner world: what happened, why it happened, and what to do next. Spoken aloud to a trusted guide, the most terrifying truths lose their sting and regain their meaning as invitations to growth.  Finally, community matters. A church that engages body and senses, offers communion and confession, and pairs diagnosis with prescription becomes an arena where grace meets effort. Outside that arena, there are no crowns because there is no contest. Inside it, accountability interrupts self-deception, and mercy makes change plausible. The way forward is not self-loathing or self-excuse but love, truth, and rhythm: see the spot, feel the healthy sting of guilt, ask for help, and return to the practices that tame the garden. We are beloved and broken, not worthless or sovereign; healing happens where we stop pretending to be judge and return to being patients of the true Physician. Questions about Orthodoxy?
